New York City officials approved a plan Thursday to build a 25,000-seat stadium for Major League Soccer's New York City FC next to the New York Mets' stadium, Citi Field.

The $780 million soccer stadium, expected to open in 2027, will anchor a 23-acre (9-hectare) redevelopment project in the Willets Point neighborhood that will also include housing, a new public school, retail stores and a hotel.
